Chaotically speedy speedrunning

I’ve recently been playing the Xbox version of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory as part of Rebel FM’s Game Club, and decided to see if anyone had tried to speedrun the game. The answer? Yep, and pretty damn incredibly too.

Mathew Thompson at Speed Demos Archive ran through the game on Expert difficulty in a staggeringly quick 1:16:34. That’s only a little longer than it takes me to beat an average level on Normal! If any of you have played the game I’d strongly recommend checking out the level runs… crazy stuff.

Breakdown at Speed Demos Archive updated the site today with a speedrun of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link done by Kristian ‘Arctic_Eagle’ Emanuelson, which he describes as a “deathless run of the game with no Up+A warping.” You can find the video links for the run itself here.

There’s also a new record set for the goat herding minigame in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, so if that sounds like something worth watching then check that out too!
